QString matching.

Anticross

I have some filenames or file paths in QStringList. I need to filter string values by given mask like : .txt or moc_ or any other, like in search. If i use contains I'll get result anyvere the given mask (without '*') was found. So here is the task.

Look into the QStringList::filter() functions. And probably learn about regular expressions for this purpose.

I have two QStringLists with include and exclude values. This mean if I make a loop for target list(with my filenames) I need first look the matching to all of the includes values list, and if includes list is empty I need to look in excludes. So I make the function:
@bool include(const QString & name)
{
bool bInclude = false;

if(!indcludes.isEmpty())
{
for(int i = 0; i<indcludes.count();i++)
{
if(name.contains(indcludes.at(i)))
bInclude = true;
}
}
else
bInclude = true;

if(!exludes.isEmpty())
{
for(int i = 0; i<exludes.count();i++)
{
if(name.contains(exludes.at(i)))
bInclude = false;
}
}

return bInclude;
}@
Here I use contains() function, but it's not correct, because I need to match with mask.

I gather from your description that this function takes a filename and you want to check whether to include or exclude it by going through two lists with filename masks.

Untested, but it is the first code I would try:

@bool include(const QString &name)
{
bool result = includes.isEmpty();

foreach (const QString &pattern, includes) {
    if (QRegExp(pattern, Qt::CaseInsensitive).exactMatch(name))
        result = true;
}

foreach (const QString &pattern, excludes) {
    if (QRegExp(pattern, Qt::CaseInsensitive).exactMatch(name))
        result = false;
}

return result;

}@

Nope this code:
@bool include(const QString &name)
{
bool result = includes.isEmpty();

foreach (const QString &pattern, includes) {
    if (QRegExp(pattern, Qt::CaseInsensitive).exactMatch(name))
        result = true;
}

foreach (const QString &pattern, excludes) {
    if (QRegExp(pattern, Qt::CaseInsensitive).exactMatch(name))
        result = false;
}

return result;

}@
does not work. If i set mask *.cpp it skips all of my files. But there are lot of filename strings like this:
.\file.cpp

Franzk

That is likely because @".cpp"@ is not a valid regexp. Try something like @".\.cpp"@ instead.

I tried .*\.cpp a also tried .\file.cpp masks(which matches 100% with containing text) it's don't work at all.
